i had one in washington, d.c. and then obviously, of course, when i was in yemen. i will tell you, wolf, that i don't believe that the administration has been as open with congress in briefing us either on what happened in detroit, but more importantly they haven't been as open with us as what i would like on ft. hood. we really is not had any briefings on ft. hood since that tragic occurrence almost two months ago and that also had ties to yemen. it has ties to awlaki. and i think that we need to be able to get the full picture. i think as you listen to the dialogue between jane and i, i think the hopeful thing for america is people can see that even though on individuals we -- individual policies we may have differences of agreement, but on foreign policy we find ways to work together and to get things done and to do it in a nonpartisan way, because in fighting al qaeda in this new threat in yemen, we need to do this together. republicans and democrats, and working with the white house. >> jane harman, we got a picture in of the president meeting with his counter

i did not come to washington to be a weather vane, i did not come to washington to applaud this president or the past president when i think i have not been correct. i have to give my honest judgment. the american people are hurting. they are asking for different approaches. i am trying to voice those concerns. if the president goes in a different direction, it is my obligation to try to persuade him to go in the direction the american people want. i don't see that as an attempt to fight the president. i view that as an attempt to represent my constituents and to the best i can for this country. host: let's take a call next from austin, bob on the republican line. caller: i was interested to know why we are spending so much money, or going to be spending so much money, defending people -- obama plays it down to make it sound like that even enemy combatants anymore. they are terrorists. we cannot seem to call them that. why are we spending millions of dollars to defend people who have admitted their guilt when the economy is struggling as bad as it is? it just seems more like me. -- seems
